Trying to find information on wheels for my M235i. Northeastern PA. is ROADHELL headquarters. Stock BMW wheels are routinely bent due to Penndot being both corrupt and inept as relates to highway maintenance and pothole repair. Seems as though there are 2 options: Option 1, Crappy Chinese wheels which are cheap and worse than the BMW Wheels, and Option 2, Wheels which will cost the price of an older, reliable Honda Civic; $2200 for 1 wheel? GET REAL! I am looking for wheels that will hold up better than the BMW wheels but not a small fortune. Also, is there an advantage to forged wheels, vs cast wheels? I am not a racer, nor do I want to look like a pimp. Please educate me. Best, Bill
Read about my experiences on the post about Pirelli cinturato P7's. Lots of info on wheels and tires from my recent experience. There are numerous sellers of used/refurbished oem BMW wheels online that are lots less than 1/2 price of new BMW prices. Here's where I got my wheels which came thru fine, nicely refubished, run straight true and smooth. delivered when promised and they even looked for a complete set thru other dealers so mine came from 3 different places. Couldn't be happier! 230i - BMW - Wheels Just do a Search for used BMW wheels, lots of sellers out there for new takeoffs or used/refurbished oem BMW wheels.
